We had such an excellent time. I was particularly impressed with the building itself. The open stairway is covered in mural work and there is a fantastic sunroom covered in traditional Mexican tiles.

Attendees were treated to a buffet full of Mexican delicacies and an open bar of Mexican tequilas and beers. Tequila and I don’t get along, so I didn’t sample any, but Ivan did. I stuck to one of my favorites, Modelo. You can see me trying to hide it in Ivan’s jacket below.

The night was capped off with a performance from a Mariachi band. I just love Mariachi bands. We are having one at our wedding and I cannot wait.

The event was sponsored by ThingstoDoDC.com. If you’re in the DMV area, I highly suggest checking the website out. They sponsor embassy events all the time and it’s such fun way to experience a different culture.
